[Heb-NACO] uniform title for Sefer ha-Zohar 'al Iyov

[Kuperman, Aaron]

If the work is a compilation of pasages in the Zohar on a subject (in this case, Iyov), the authority record is questionable, as that NAF suggests the existence of a book of Iyov in the Zohar.  For a compilation on a subject drawn from a larger work or genre, the 100 probably should be the compiler, and if there is a heading for the work other than what appears on the work, I suspect it would be in the form of :   Zohar. Selection (Iyov)  .   The pattern for how it is treated would be any other work discussing a subject (Moses in the Talmud, Women in the Zohar, Sex in the Bible, etc.).

Note that I am just kibbitzing but I suggest that this be looked at since we would look very silly if we catalogers are found to have discovered a long lost Book of Iyov in the Zohar that no one had heard of previously. We don't want to be compared to Moses de León!

If you had Sefer ha-Zohar 'al Iyov : ve-hu likut divre ha-Zohar ha-kadosh tikune Zohar ve-Zohar hadash 'al kol pesuke Iyov ha-muva'im ba-Zohar ha-kadosh..., would you have a uniform title Zohar? However, this book is not the Zohar in its entirety but just selections that pertain to the book of Iyov, so it might be misleading to have such an access point. Might it not imply that this is the whole Zohar? Or should one have such a uniform title? What purpose would it serve?
